The measured insulation resistance is displayed
continuously.
7. Keep the TEST button pressed until the value displayed is
stable.
The analogue arc also provides a continuous indication of
the measured insulation resistance.
The test voltage is turned off when you release the test
button.
8. After the test, do not disconnect the test-leads from the circuit or asset under test until the voltage shown
on the display has fallen to a safe value.
